Don'T Kill Yourself

Don’t Kill Yourself There is a suicide spirit taking effect, and I’ve seen it in action. It’s telling people how worthless they are, that it’s too late to do anything good with their lives. It’s telling them no one would even care if they were gone. I am here to say that that is a bullcrap lie straight from the pits of Hell. Don’t listen to those voices telling you suicide is a good option. The voice of God will never be behind those words. He would never tell you to kill yourself, so don’t kill yourself. Circumstances become so overwhelming you don’t know what to do, so you start looking for ways out. Suicide seems like it will silence all the noise and put an end to all the pain. Yes, it will do those things, but only to introduce you to a pain that is much worse. Suicide could be the greatest display of hopelessness there is, the greatest expression of unbelief in Jesus Christ there is. No one is alive without purpose, So how would one ever have the audacity to end their own life before God says it’s over? Why commit such a thing, and leave that as your legacy? Don’t kill yourself, because you have so much to live for.

I lost a brother in law to suicide, such a waste. If only he'd chosen to commit to life, he eliminated the possibility for his life to improve. He was always so funny, the life and soul of a party, we never knew the pain he was covering up with his humour. Emotive write Evan #7
